[QUOTE="richardthebrave, post: 1116574, member: 20511"]AGE are mislabeled as 22 carats (0.917 fine) because of the wrong way the contents of the coin was explained. the entire gold contents of AGE itself is 99.99% at 31.1 grams, except that they used more hardening materials compared to the maples (AGE has silver and copper) taking now both the amount of gold and hardening materials combined you get 0.917 or 22 carats since you also included the copper contents with it: the result is an excess total weight of 33.930 grams or 1.0909 ounces making it heavier against other gold bullions. this is where the misnomer came from :P but taking only the gold amount, it is already at 31.1 grams of 99.99% gold. :D p.s. if you would look at the smaller denomination of AGE, they have also the same properties (excess weight because of the silver and copper contents) but they are also 99.99% pure.[/QUOTE]
